Chapter 814 - 904 Love
Speaking of Ji Xi’er, actually Chen Mo had no feelings for her.
The reason she became his woman.
Was mainly because she opposed him at the time, coupled with her beauty, and large eyes, so Chen Mo claimed her as his war prize.
Since she chose to leave, Chen Mo respected her choice.
However, shortly after introducing Zuoqiu Yiren to the women and saying that Xiao Jiu is the transformed White Fox Xiao Jiu, a servant reported that Ji Xi’er had returned.
This surprised all the women.
Ji Xi’er came before Chen Mo but did not throw herself into his arms like the other women.
She only said indifferently, "You really are tough; you actually came back alive."
Upon hearing this, the women frowned.
"If I were dead, wouldn’t you be a widow?" After speaking, Chen Mo did not care whether she liked it or not and immediately embraced her, since her return indicated her acceptance, Chen Mo naturally would not leave her out.
"By the way, Wanqiu, where is Nichang?" With so many women, Chen Mo almost forgot Consort Yu.
"Nichang went to Master Qi, I’ve already sent someone to notify her," Ye Wanqiu said.
Chen Mo nodded, then distributed the gifts he brought back from the Primordial Heaven, one by one.
In less than half an hour, Quan Qiyang arrived with his sister.
"Husband." Qi Nichang was very happy to see Chen Mo again, she threw herself into his arms, crying tears of joy.
After a tender moment, Chen Mo gave her the gift intended for her.
Since Quan Qiyang came too, Chen Mo also gifted him a Qiankun Ring, a hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones, and a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Just like the ones given to Li Weiqiu and the others.
The gifts given to them were not as thoughtfully prepared as those for his women.
Quan Qiyang was quite perceptive.
Although he had many words for Chen Mo.
However, at this time, it was evident that Chen Mo’s family was reuniting.
He did not disturb them and left.
In the backyard of Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion.
The women sat in a circle, and Chen Mo sat in the middle, sharing their heartfelt emotions.
Chen Mo recounted his experiences over the years.
"Sir, Your Majesty has arrived."
Just less than an hour into the talk, Chun Lan came to report.
Chen Mo’s heart was moved.
Soon, an elegant silhouette, surrounded by a crowd of palace maids, walked over slowly from not far away.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." All the women except Zuoqiu Yiren and Xiao Jiu quickly saluted.
Chen Mo also cupped his fists, bowing to Xiao Yunxi.
Although there had been rumors about the two of them circulating in the Capital for years, these matters had never been confirmed.
At least without evidence, the two were innocent, so in front of the women, they could not appear too close.
Having served as Empress for several years, Xiao Yunxi naturally had cultivated the skill to remain composed amidst chaotic situations, smiling at Chen Mo, she said, "Prince Zhen Nan, it has been a long time, I even began to miss you."
"I also missed Your Majesty."
"Tonight, I will host a banquet in the palace for Prince Zhen Nan, you must attend."
"Certainly."
Xiao Yunxi did not stay long at the mansion and soon left.
But Zhao Fujin stayed behind.
Among the women, there were still some who had not met Zhao Fujin, Chen Mo introduced her to them.
...
Due to Han Jingyun being in Wan Kingdom, Chen Mo needed to go there to bring Han Jingyun back.
With the speed of the Spiritual Boat, driving at full speed, it would not even take half a day to go there and back.
By nightfall, Chen Mo could bring Jingyun back to the mansion.
After a simple tidy-up, Chen Mo headed to the palace for the banquet.
All the ministers were present.
Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yunxi, seated on the Dragon Throne, his heart stirred slightly.
Before the banquet, Xiao Yunxi must have bathed specially, and had groomed and dressed herself.
At this moment, she wore a bright red long dress, topped with a crown, her face mature and bewitching, her attire extremely alluring; her black hair cascading like a waterfall, several exquisite hairpins held her silky hair in place, with long dangling steps attached at the end; seemingly aware of Chen Mo’s gaze, Xiao Yunxi’s elongated beautiful eyes slightly blinked, casting a glance at Chen Mo.
Two precious Treasure Beads slightly swayed with the movement of Xiao Yunxi’s head.
Over these years, Chen Mo had seen all kinds of women.
Despite not being the most beautiful he had seen, nor having the best figure.
But to Chen Mo, she was the woman who felt the most.
The feelings Chen Mo had for her were also the deepest.
After five years apart, the longing between them was expressed through the banquet drinks, cup after cup consumed.
Halfway through the banquet, Xiao Yunxi excused herself due to discomfort and retreated for rest.
The ministers began to welcome Chen Mo fervently.
Who among them did not know that Xiao Yunxi was able to ascend to the position of Empress thanks to Chen Mo’s support; otherwise, she would have been overthrown long ago.
Though Chen Mo had not been in the Capital for several years, his authority among the ministers remained deeply entrenched.
After some courteous exchanges with the ministers, Chen Mo found an excuse to slip away, actually heading toward Xiao Yunxi’s sleeping palace.
With his strength, if he wished to remain unnoticed, not a soul in the entire Imperial Palace could detect him.
...
Xiao Yunxi had always resided in the Weiyang Palace; even after becoming Empress, she never changed her sleeping palace.
As if expecting Chen Mo to come, she was already waiting in the palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids inside and outside Weiyang Palace had long been dismissed by her.
When Chen Mo entered the Weiyang Palace, upon stepping into the sleeping chambers, he saw a voluptuously mature beauty on the Dragon Bed, akin to a ripe peach, tempting one to step forward for a taste.
The clothes she wore were extremely provocative and revealing, her fair collarbone and fragrant shoulders enticing, her snow-capped peaks alluring, her slender waist tightly bound, a single grasp sufficed, her long skirt like a blooming red rose, the hem slightly parted, revealing those fair calves and the snow-white within...
"You know to come back, finally." Before Chen Mo could speak, Xiao Yunxi’s grieving voice sounded in his ear, pitifully saying, "Do you know how hard I’ve waited for you? For five years, not a single word from you, do you know how much I worried for you..."
As Xiao Yunxi spoke, she cried aloud, tears pattering down.
Chen Mo walked over, sat down on the Dragon Bed, and skillfully embraced Xiao Yunxi’s waist, letting her head rest on his shoulder, gently patting her jade-like back, softly said, "I’m sorry, I came back late. I missed you too. This time, I’m returning to take you all there; we will never be apart again."
Listening to Chen Mo’s words, Xiao Yunxi also held Chen Mo tightly, as if wanting to merge his being into her body, she raised her eyes slightly, gazing at Chen Mo with her large eyes, their sights meeting, then she initiated a kiss upon Chen Mo’s lips.
